Australian born painter and
printmaker Anita Klein now lives and works in London and has exhibited her
prints and large oil paintings extensively in the UK, Australia and
California. Trained at the Chelsea School of Art and the Slade School of
Fine Art , she is a fellow of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers, has
been shown at the Royal Academy and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in
London. Her work is held in many private and public collections including
The Arts Council of Great Britain.

Anita's work is a humorous
visual diary celebrating the small domestic moments we all share; having
breakfast with her daughters, shaving her legs while husband 'Nige' does his
exercises, catching the guinea pig and many more. These moments are
encapsulated with the soft blackness of the drypoint line, and while
irrelevant details are ignored, others like Nige's hairy legs, or the
television remote control are lovingly described.

Anita says that 'these
everyday events are what she would miss most if it was all taken away'.
While family photo albums record our lives as one long round of birthdays
and holidays, the very moments we should most value are almost always
ignored and forgotten.

Anita first showed her work
at Pyramid Gallery in 1994 and has been a regular exhibitor ever since.
